Even with their continued airing over on Discovery Family, it looks like Hasbro Studios has also signed a deal with Cartoon Network to air a new Transformers: Robots in Disguise series.

So why is this relevant to pony? It may mean we will see it also make the transition. An extra network boosting pony could only be a good thing. They have already confirmed that the show will remain with Discovery Family, but if Transformers can make the jump, I wouldn't be too surprised if pony did the same thing.

The future is going to be interesting. Assuming this hiatus ever ends.

Latest Installment of Hasbro Studios' Top-Rated Series to Debut On
Its New U.S. Network Home in First Quarter of 2015

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Hasbro Studios, the Los Angeles-based entertainment division of Hasbro,
Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), announced today that Cartoon Network, the
regularly top-rated primetime network for boys' ages 6-11 and 9-14, will
become the U.S home of the brand new series, Transformers: Robots
in Disguise.

The latest installment in the Transformers franchise - a global
phenomenon across TV, film, consumer products and digital media - will
debut in the first quarter of 2015 and is written and directed by top
Hollywood talent and influenced creatively with feedback from its avid
fan base, which is reflected in the tone and style of the new series.
"Robots in Disguise begins a brand new chapter in storytelling,
filled with great humor, lots of fun adventure and animated in a cooler,
lighter, brighter style that we know kids are going to really love,"
said Stephen Davis, president of Hasbro Studios and global entertainment
& licensing for Hasbro, Inc. "We have spent a lot of time listening to
what kids like about Transformers and they haven't been shy about
giving us their opinions. And we have listened! Robots in
Disguise is reflective of all that we have learned in our
conversations with kids. It has the most relatable Autobot and
Decepticon characters we have ever ‘Rolled Out' in a Transformers animated
series."
The mission begins as Bumblebee must step up to be leader in the years
after we left the Autobots in Transformers Prime. Summoned by
Optimus Prime to save Earth from a new faction of Decepticons, Bumblebee
puts his light-hearted mettle to the test after assembling a rouge team
of young Autobots action heroes. Bumblebee must balance his job fighting
off evil with being equal parts squad leader and coach to a rascally
band that needs constant coaxing to learn how to work together. The
results are comical when the cool rebel, elite guard cadet, bombastic
dinobot and exciteable mini-con must balance team-building with chasing
and capturing their new enemies in every episode packed full of action,
fun and adventure.
Finn Arnesen, senior VP of global distribution and development for
Hasbro Studios, commented, "As the regularly top-rated U.S. TV network
in prime among Transformers' core audience of boys ages 6-11 and
9-14, our beloved Autobots and Decepticons will feel very much at home
on Cartoon Network. And to seal our new partnership with Cartoon Network
on the 30th anniversary of the Transformers franchise makes
this a truly iconic event."
The highly innovative Transformers franchise is one of the
biggest brands in the world, spanning television, film and digital
entertainment (including the 2014 global blockbuster, TRANSFORMERS: AGE
OF EXTINCTION, the fourth in the hit film series); gaming; apps;
publishing; transmedia events; toys, games and licensing.
